Coffee with intense flavor.
خلفية ثقافية
In Lithuania, it is common to drink coffee 'plikyta' (steeped). You put ground coffee in a cup and pour boiling water over it. This often results in a very 'stipri kava' with grounds at the bottom. Vilnius has a 'Coffee Culture Day' where many cafes offer special brews. 'Stipri kava' is often the benchmark for a barista's skill in balancing intensity and acidity. During long meetings, providing 'stipri kava' is seen as a way to keep the team focused. It's almost expected in IT and creative sectors. When visiting a Lithuanian home, you will almost always be offered coffee. If you say you like it 'stipri', your host might take it as a sign that you are a serious, down-to-earth person.
Ordering Tip
If you want an espresso but want to sound more local, you can ask for 'maža stipri kava' (small strong coffee).
Case Alert
Don't forget that 'noriu' (I want) changes the ending to 'stiprios kavos'!
